Skating is great type of physical activity that is beneficial in almost any age. All it takes is a flat ice surface and pair of boots with a blades. Few thousand of years ago people used bones as skates. These days we use metal plates. Back then it was gliding on top of a surface. Metal blades cut the ice which changes the physics of the process. It allows much higher speed with less effort comparing to gliding.
The latest invention in this area is a “Thermo Blades”. Now blade is heated by the battery pack. This melts the ice right under the surface of the blade which in turn minimizes the friction and makes skating effortless. Wayne Gretzky has endorsed these blades already.
